NASCAR Testing - Las VegasBY: Jonah Rens is 12 years old, and is a junior NASCAR reporter/writer for The Final Lap. His opinions are his own, and not necessarily those of The Final Lap.

Bring back Rockingham Speedway to the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, bring back North Wilksboro Speedway to the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, run the Generation 6 car on those two tracks as well. What you’ll have is great edge of your seat, 200 MPH+, fender to fender race package, and get rid of the Chase.

Now on day two of Daytona Testing recently, NASCAR said no tandem drafting at the February Daytona events. Well that’s what NASCAR is: Pure racing action. Like I said I want a 200 MPH+ fender to fender race package. If NASCAR isn’t going to provide that, then I’m not going to be a fan. It’s as simple is that.

I sure hope NASCAR takes a look at this article and does the things listed. I sure hope NASCAR changes soon. The competition in NASCAR needs to change fast or NASCAR will lose its fan base. A couple of years ago Robin Pemberton said, “We’re gonna put the racing in the hands of the drivers. Boys have at it.” NASCAR get back there again.
